Ibanez RG970WBWZ-WLB Premium in Walnut Burst

Ibanez RG970WBWZ Walnut Burst at Music Park

The RG970WBWZ-WLB has a brilliantly constructed 5 piece wenge and bubinga neck. It is super strong despite its slim dimensions and much less common than maple or mahogany. Another point to note is the immaculately finished fret work. It features the Ibanez Premium Fret Edge Treatment where the edges have been hand rolled. The result is a highly playable fretboard that is smooth to the touch.

Fitted to the guitar is an Ibanez Edge Zero II with ZPS3Fe that offers excellent stability under heavy whammy usage. It holds its tuning well and can be converted to full floating by removing the stop bar. It is easily adjustable too. A thumb dial on the back of the guitar allows easy trem adjustment of the Ibanez RG970 WBWZ Walnut Burst.

DiMarzio IBZ pickups in the bridge, middle and neck positions make this a very versatile solid body electric guitar. A humbucker in the bridge and neck positions provide plenty of power but when combined with the single coil middle pickup some great out of phase sounds can be obtained. The single coil on its own is excellent for clean tones.

With the Ibanez RG970WBWZ Walnut Burst once again Ibanez have managed to produce a stunning electric at a very reasonable price. High end features without the high end cost.
